RAID

Budget Overruns and Delays, beware – it’s RAID!

Believe it or not, the typical way an IT department deals with these pests is to – hold onto your hat – analyze the cause and document it.

We recommend a slightly more aggressive approach.

RAID is an acronym for SISG’s strategy, requirements, and design methodology called Review of Applications and Inspection of Data.

Surprises in the data can harbor insurmountable setbacks, forcing a choice between data integrity and meeting the schedule . It’s not acceptable to take these consequences as a matter of course, when the issues simply await discovery.

SISG’s RAID is a short engagement that looks at business processes, organizational structure, information demands, functional requirements, technical infrastructure, and source system data to determine its quality and fitness to meet the business requirements.

A realistic approach means a better record of accomplishment, less stress on resources, and more sponsor confidence. The RAID is an essential element of an accurate budgeting and scheduling process for each incremental project lifecycle. Find out how you can put RAID to work in your organization.
